A soldering gun contains a transformer that lowers the (120 mathrm{~V}) from an outlet to a few
Question:
A soldering gun contains a transformer that lowers the \(120 \mathrm{~V}\) from an outlet to a few volts. It's possible to have a current of \(150 \mathrm{~A}\) in the tip of the soldering iron even though the outlet has a circuit breaker that permits no more than \(15 \mathrm{~A}\). Explain how this is possible.
